The travel profiles of the drive axles (crane travel profile, trolley travel profile) can be adjusted to individual usage in the acceleration and braking time as well in the maximum and minimum speed.
For this work step, access from a laptop or tablet computer to KranOS is necessary. The user "Abnahme" (commissioning) (user level ‚[2]) must be logged in.

User "Abnahme" (commissioning) à "Crane travel" à "Crane travel profile parameter" |
User "Abnahme" (commissioning) à "Trolley travel" à "Trolley travel profile parameter" |
Log in as user "Abnahme" (commissioning) (user level [2]) in KranOS. See Connecting laptop or tablet computer with ABUControl, page .
Select the desired crane axis (e.g. crane travel) in the main menu.
● The window for the requested crane axis appears.
Click on the "Crane travel profile parameter" (or "Trolley travel profile parameter") menu item in the "Settings" menu (gear wheel on yellow background).

● The "Parameter" window for the corresponding crane axis appears.
● The current values are displayed.
Set the desired values:
Danger due to excessively high travel speed! The crane (trolley) can become uncontrollable at excessive travel speed. Before changing the parameter, contact ABUS Service and heed legal requirements. |
─ "Speed Maximum": Maximum crane (or trolley) travel speed. The crane (or trolley) travels slower at a low value and faster at a high value.
With step-less movement profile: If the button is fully pressed and held, the crane (or trolley) accelerates to this maximum travel speed. A lower travel speed can be continuously selected by briefly releasing the button into the first level.
With two-step movement profile: If the button is pressed and held in the second level, the crane (or trolley) accelerates to this travel speed.
─ "Speed Minimum step-less": This is the lowest speed at which the crane (or trolley) can travel. The crane (or trolley) travels slower at a low value and faster at a high value. A high speed can be selected continuously by briefly pressing the button in the second level.
─ "Speed Minimum two-step": If the button is pressed and held in the first level, the crane (or trolley) accelerates to this travel speed. The crane (or trolley) travels slower at a low value and faster at a high value.
─ "Speed Braking function": Travel speed at which the crane (or trolley) brakes if the travel limit switch is activated for the braking function. The crane (or trolley) travels slower at a low value and faster at a high value.
Danger due to too short braking time and acceleration time If the braking time or acceleration time is set too short, excessive load can be placed on the statics of the supporting structure (e.g. of the building) and damage it. Before changing the parameter, contact ABUS Service. |
Danger due to too long braking time If the braking time is too long, the crane (the trolley) could possibly not come to a stop in time to avoid colliding with other cranes (trolleys). After changing the parameter, test the braking time. |
─ "Braking time": Time in which the drive brakes from the travel speed according to the type plate until reaching a stop. The crane (or trolley) brakes faster at a low value and slower at a high value. The shortest and longest time that can be set is displayed during input in the key field.
─ "Load display: Text speed": Speed with which the scrolling text runs through the LED matrix display. For a lower value, the scrolling text runs faster; for a higher value it runs more slowly.
The set text speed is saved directly in the LED matrix display and not in the PLC. For this reason, the "Write PLC" button next to the input field must be clicked separately. Also, the current value which is saved in the LED matrix display is not displayed here.
─ Only with crane travel profile: "Part load crane travel ahead" and "Part load crane travel back": Load as of which the load-dependent crane distancing system is to be switched on. See Displaying the status of the crane axes [1] [2], page . The load can be separately set for both travel directions.
With a general (load independent) crane distancing system, the value that is entered here is irrelevant.
─ "Building profile": This displays whether a building profile is available for the crane.
─ "Rotation direction" for –B76 and –B77 (for crane travel) or –B56 and –B57 (for trolley travel): Rotation direction for both cross-type limit switches that are used for the building profile control. The numbers from 0 to 5 indicate the switching statuses of the cross-type limit switch. They can be read at a small arrow on the cross-type limit switch.
If the cross-type limit switch is installed correctly (installed according to layout plan, housing below, switching cross above) it interconnects the switching statuses in descending order by (5-4-3-2-1-0), if the crane travels forwards or the trolley travels to the right.
If the cross-type limit switch is installed upside down (installed according to layout plan, housing above, switching cross below) it interconnects the switching statuses in ascending order by (0-1-2-3-4-5), if the crane travels forwards or the trolley travels to the right.
